Yumbo, Canards, and Artificial Intelligence Is Better Than Zero Intelligence

Tracked and Targeted Episode 10 Tony Katz Stephen Kruiser Kurt SchlichterAdmit it, you were sitting around the dinner table last week when somebody asked what you’re thankful for. Immediately you thought “Tracked and Targeted.” But you’re a Giants fan, so you said, “Madison Bumgarner” instead. Regardless, the guys are in your brain. And they’re back to work this week.

A BLOCK: Lies, Damned Lies, and Ferguson

When lies are a tool, the truth gets hammered. From the race hustlers in Ferguson, to the NFL and Congress we’re witnessing a wretched new world order.

THE HAMMOCK: Psst, Schlichter, need $7500?

Kurt takes a ride in a Tesla and ends up in Moral Dilemma Land. Is it wrong to take $7500 from the government for buying an incredible piece of automotive engineering? The answer may surprise you and we also find out that Kruiser is ready to go Galt.

C BLOCK: You Can’t Say That On Capitol Hill

Obama’s teenage girls attend an event with POTUS and then behave like teenagers. A Hill staffer says they dressed and behaved like teenagers. The Hill staffer loses her job (as a communications director, no less). As Mollie Hemingway points out, this is why everybody hates the media.

D-DAWG BLOCK: Death on Staten Island and Life for Yumbo

A grand jury decides not to indict a police officer with the NYPD for choking Eric Garner to death. The news of this broke during the podcast and the guys give their initial thoughts. We also find out what Yumbo is.

    Still love the show. It makes my evening listening to the show in the hotel room on the road for work, and hammering out a paper for school. I need something because I have been informed that hilton hotels are going to stop stocking gummy bears as part of their hhnonors treats. Now, I travel for work, and so i get a bit down on the road sometimes and I count on that bag of gummy bears to be that little ray of sunshine in an otherwise dreary evening of sitting in hotel rooms.

    Fortunately once a week, I get to listen to some guys have a little fun. Its almost as good as gummy bears.

    Have a good evening.

    This may be the best yet. You guys rocked it yet again. Two thoughts:

    I wonder if that New York grand jury would indict a Yumbo. Let’s ask Malaki the Marketing Guy.

    And of course:

    I saw Drunk Frat Boys open for the Blues Brothers at the Palace Hotel Ballroom in Chicago in 1980.

    Some favorites from you guys:

    KS: ‘These are football players. We aren’t getting cold fusion out of them.’

    TK: ‘You’re never forced to be equal, you’re always forced to take less. Less is not equal. When everyone has to take less, it doesn’t make us equal; it just makes us less.’

    TK: ‘It’s 5 bucks a month. No subsidies. Get a paper route.’

    SFK: ‘Every time you think you can’t gay it up any more, Schlichter and Katz start talking.’

    I can’t hire you guys, but if you get within a couple hundred miles, I’ll show up.

    You sir are an un-American, Communist infiltrator sent by Lenin himself to say that any song by Ted Nugent is stupid.

    I think it was mentioned on Ricochet before, but can we blame the Michael Brown and Eric Gardner incidents on the Left’s war on tobacco? Michael Brown stole highly taxed and overregulated cigars and Eric Gardner was selling highly taxed, overregulated cigarettes. If the tobacco industry was allowed to operate in a free market; then these two men would still be alive. A pack of cigarettes and cigars would cost very little except for the taxes, law suits, and regulations.

    The far left loves regulation and big government. Their big government policies just got two men killed. The left wants cops to enforce big government laws and regulations, and they did. They can’t have it both ways.

    The founding fathers would agree with the point of C block, heck just read the partisan federalist and Democratic/Republic newspapers from presidential elections. The liberal media are relatively polite compared to Jefferson’s media surrogates. Many a founding fathers would want to defecate on conservatives that think we should only be polite when we are viciously attacked.

    The cold fusion line was mine too. Schlichter tends to reach his zenith each week when filling the hammock with innuendo.

    Yes, it is Ted Nugent. I was just joking with you. A lot of people on the right view criticism of Nugent as blasphemy.

    Thanks for highlighting Mollie’s column. It was a fantastic takedown and well worth it for those who’ve not read it.

    I didn’t recognize Nugent, but was pleasantly surprised by the Joy Division. Quite the diverse bumper collection the producers have there.

    This may sound radical, but I think we should legalize tobacco . . .

    DON’T STOP SHOUTING! It’s what keeps me awake as I careen down North Central Expressway through Plano and Richardson.

    Next week in free for all: mock the alumni most aggrieved on Twitter after the final four football slots are announced.

    With regard to the whole “Conservatives shouldn’t take tax credits, social security or other benefits” bushwa.

    I was talking to some guys at work on my birthday last year and mentioned that it wasn’t all bad getting old – thanks to seven years working for the State Government in the late 1980s, I can file for my state pension in 3 years [It’ll be good for about $200/month, but it’s something]. The office lefty said “I thought you conservatives didn’t believe that government workers should get pensions”. I told him that I don’t support a progressive income tax system either, but that doesn’t prevent me from paying the amount the tax law says I owe when I file my 1040 every year.
